Jade Soul Palace.
True Lord Qingchen walked in from outside, dressed in green robes, untouched by worldly dust. Although his aura was somewhat subdued, a joyful smile graced his face.
Once inside the palace, he only took one item and threw it in front of Chen Shuangbai.
"That scoundrel Yuandu has already been executed."
Chen Shuangbai looked closely and saw the object on the ground roll a few times, then crash into the bottom of the jade steps before stopping. It was a piece of pure black flesh that was constantly writhing.
The flesh and blood of the Night Devil Beast...
"No... is it still that bastard Yuandu's aura?"
Chen Shuangbai immediately understood and said, "That fellow has indeed refined most of the Night Devil Beast's shell into his own flesh and blood... Did True Lord and Senior Qingyun sustain any injuries on this trip?"
True Lord Qingchen waved his hand and said, "He was at a crucial stage in merging with the body of this Night Devil Beast when the Soul-Chasing Crow Carving found his hiding place."
"Both Senior Brother Qingyun and I are capable of displaying the strength of the Nascent Soul Late Stage."
"I can easily keep him under control!"
"In addition, the two of us are each carrying a High-Grade Spirit Treasure."
"I left this mass of flesh and blood because the True Spirit Demon Mark fused within the Night Devil Beast Beast's shell were contained within it. I was thinking..." At this point, True Lord Qingchen paused, looked around, and then saw Feiguang walking out of the side hall. He smiled and said, "Thinking that Feiguang might need it, I brought it back."
"Don't worry, how could your sect leader possibly leave that scoundrel Yuandu a means of resurrection?!"
That's true.
The expedition split into two groups.
True Lord Qingchen and Azure Cloud Sword Lord, two Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, went to cause trouble for Devil Lord Yuandu, who was also in the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
In addition to their own strength, the two also carried two High-Grade Spirit Treasure: the [ Scarlet Yang Pure Truth Mountain-Suppressing Ruyi ] and the [ Great Mound Nine-Yi Sword ].
In addition, there are these two people... one is the leader of the Sword Alliance, a senior figure in the sword path, and the other can mobilize the power of a Green Chi who was originally at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage at any time.
Unless Yuandu has already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, once he is locked down by the two of them, he will only perish.
"With the sect leader taking action, it's naturally a safe bet."
Chen Shuangbai laughed heartily, then put away the lump of flesh and blood, intending to wait for Haoming Boy to have some free time to refine it, then extract the True Spirit Demon Mark, and then have Feiguang try to fuse with it.
True Lord Qingchen also asked, "Is everything going smoothly on your end?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled slightly, then flipped her right hand, revealing a golden book with many strange and demonic talismans floating on it, but these were suppressed by a dense purple-gold light, preventing them from making a ripple.
It was the stolen copy of the "Golden Chapter on the Transformation of Desire Celestial Person ".
Upon seeing this, True Lord Qingchen sighed slightly, "With this item returned to my Jade Spring, I can say that I have not failed the ancestor's expectations."
This item was originally obtained by Jade Spring High Person after slaying a Nascent Soul Nascent Soul from the demonic path. Because this Devil Cultivation Method was corrupted by the Heavenly Devil Demon, even if a member of the demonic path cultivates it, they will become a puppet of the Heavenly Devil Demon... Therefore, it was sealed away.
Only a grandmaster of demonic arts like Yan Nanlai could subdue that summoned demon from the Desire Realm Heavenly Devil.
Even so, he still couldn't control the demonic nature inherent within him, which caused a lapse in his cultivation. He even split his consciousness into more than three parts, thus failing at the last moment and being cut down by Chen Shuangbai's sword.
Even so, True Lord Qingchen still had to ask, "Completely perished?"
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly, and only then was the former relieved.
The fall of Yan Nanlai can be considered as a great weight being lifted from True Lord Qingchen's heart.
To be honest, Yan Nanlai's rebellion back then resulted in the deaths of many disciples and followers... He even stole the [ Azure Yi Treasure Cauldron ] and this [Golden Seal of the Desire Celestial Person's Transformation] at the same time...
Although it did not cause major damage to the Jade Spring Sect at the time, it was still a significant blow.
Looking back now...
The items were recovered, but the traitor's whereabouts remain unknown.
True Lord Qingchen suppressed his smile and inquired about Yan Nanlai's background.
As Chen Shuangbai killed him, the Grandmaster of the Demonic Path seemed to have resigned himself to his fate and revealed part of his foundation. Chen Shuangbai then followed the fluctuations of his Law Power to find that alien space and found a few clues, thus piecing together the man's origins.
Yan Nanlai is not his real name; his real name is Qian Guansong, and he is a member of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect.
Qian Guansong Golden Core True Person of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect. At that time, he was also respectfully called True Person Songxuan by his fellow Daoists in the Yong Kingdom. He was the foremost master of the middle Dao of Alchemy of that generation of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect.
More than nine hundred years ago, an internal strife broke out within the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect sect.
At that time, the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect had three disciples of exceptional talent and great ability. The current sect leader had to choose the next sect leader from among the three. Their Dharma names were Guansong, Guanquan, and Guanjing, respectively.
Qian Guansong was one of them.
Upon hearing this, True Lord Qingchen's thoughts began to race. He quickly found relevant records among the many ancient texts he had read within the sect in his younger days, and said, "Our sect does have some records of this matter as well."
"The official explanation from the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect sect is that its two disciples, Guansong and Guanquan, unfortunately suffered from Qi Deviation, which is why the last remaining True Person Guanjing, was placed in the position of sect leader."
"However, although this True Person Guanjing later became Nascent Soul True Lord by virtue of the sect's resources, he suddenly perished for reasons unknown. The Heavenly Star Mystic Sect is very tight-lipped about this matter."
True Lord Qingchen seemed to realize something, and suddenly looked at Chen Shuangbai, saying, "Could it be that Yan Nanlai interfering?"
Chen Shuangbai nodded and continued, "Based on what I obtained in the alien space where Yan Nanlai last stayed, the conclusion is that he, Guanquan, and Guanjing originally planned to compete for the position of sect leader based on their own strength."
"However, Guanquan later inexplicably Qi Deviation, resulting in a significant decline in his cultivation and disqualification from the election. Then, by chance, he found a handle on Guanjing Jing's actions and reported it to True Lord Baijing, the then leader of the Heavenly Star Mystic Sect."
"But because Guan Guanjing was his last disciple, True Lord Baijing wanted to cover it up... which angered Qian Guansong, who then took several of the sect's treasures and broke out of the sect, disappearing without a trace after that."
This was a scandal within the sect, Heavenly Star Mystic Sect naturally tried every means to cover it up.
As for Guanjing... Guansong broke down the gate and Guanquan was killed by him, so naturally he was later promoted to the position of sect leader. Unfortunately, he was still schemed against and killed by Qian Guansong, who was later Yan Nanlai.
From this point on, the origins of this person have been largely deduced.
Chen Shuangbai did not hide this from Hong Qing, who was present at the time, but asked her directly about it.
Hong Qing was taken aback at first, and subconsciously wanted to deny it.
But Chen Shuangbai's words silenced all his denials.
"Then why... that night, his avatar was able to silently bypass your Heavenly Star Mystic Sect Sect's protective formation, and then silently arrive before you, demanding the direct lineage of the Daoist tradition that only successive sect leaders can obtain?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Qing's expression changed drastically. His lips moved a few times, but he ultimately couldn't utter a word.
He might not have known about this originally, but when these clues were pieced together... he had no choice but to find out the truth.
This matter was kept secret for hundreds of years, but it could not be kept hidden forever.
Hong Qing wanted to speak up and tell everyone to keep the matter to themselves, but he ultimately didn't say it, because it was Chen Shuangbai who initially asked his Heavenly Star Mystic Sect for help.
But after Yan Nanlai's true identity was revealed, it was actually Heavenly Star Mystic Sect who had to thank Chen Shuangbai for eliminating a traitor for their family.
His expression at that moment was incredibly complex.
